Driving in Chennai: what to expect

Chennai sits in Tamil Nadu, which is mostly built-up and urban. Here is what that means when you actually drive here:

Parking is the real constraint downtown. Compact hatchbacks are far easier to park than SUVs in most Chennai colonies.

Peak traffic in Chennai runs roughly 8am to 11am and 5pm to 9pm. Plan city hops outside those windows where you can.

Metro lines cover the main corridors, but a car is unbeatable for reaching smaller Chennai neighbourhoods with kids or luggage.

Car delivery and pick-up points in Chennai

We deliver across Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Frequent hand-over points in and around Chennai include Marina Beach, Kapaleeshwarar Temple, Elliot's Beach, Guindy and Mahabalipuram.

Hotel, office and airport deliveries are included in the daily rate within Chennai. If you land late, message us your flight number and the car will be waiting.
